Trinity School: Spotlight on Art 2015

Spotlight on Art is the signature fundraising event for Trinity School and our gift to the greater community. Proceeds benefit Trinity’s teacher education and scholarship funds, as well as a charity chosen by our Sixth Grade leadership class in fall 2014: A portion of the proceeds will go to Atlanta Pet Rescue, a no-kill animal shelter with over 18,000 rescues since they opened their doors in 2000 : https://www.atlantapetrescue.org/

Derby Day- Shepherd Center

HAFDS is proud and happy to be able to offer a seat in our Beautiful Bouquets ( June 20, 2015 ) class to Shepherd Spinal Center’s 33rd Annual Derby Day Auction!All proceeds generated from the event go to support Shepherd Center’s Recreation Therapy Program.

One of the best ways to adjust to lifestyle changes caused by a disability is to participate in meaningful recreation activities. Research shows that positive recreation time can increase healthcare and physical fitness, self-confidence, development of skills and competence, social interaction, quality of life and overall well being. Recreation Therapy provides patients an opportunity to participate in activities that challenge expectations and stereotypes.

The goals of the program are to improve physical, cognitive, and/or social functioning and to return the individual to as independent, active and healthy a lifestyle as possible. These goals are achieved through leisure counseling/leisure education, leisure skill instruction, and community reintegration.

TS Awareness- Walk For Ferrial

HAFDS is proud and pleased to be able to offer a seat in Frosty Festivities to the WFF (Walk for Ferrial) and TSA (Turner Syndrome Awareness) silent auction. This leaves only TWO spaces in that class!

The beautiful young lady you see on the right is Ferrial. She was born with Turner Syndrome, a condition that affects 1 in about 2,000 births, but is still not widely recognized by the general public. WFF and TSA aim to remedy this general lack of knowledge by creating greater public awareness of its existence. You can read more about TSA here: http//:www.walkforferrial.com
